Black vs. White
I personally believe the world we live in is in fact black and white, one great example is my work. I am one of the few Christians that I know that works there, some of the managers as well as my coworkers have either no faith or are atheist. Many of them hold very strong views on the world to back up their “beliefs”. Many of those people mock and make fun of me for my faith and assume I am “perfect” which I am not. Many of my coworkers try to discourage me that Christianity is a joke and is not true. This has made me way more tolerant in situation I used to never consider acceptable. It has shown me how the “real world” views Christianity. I have recently started to learn more about my faith and began to defend it more than I have before, because many people try to discourage me. I wish people were more tolerant of Christianity; instead we are frowned upon for our beliefs. Most of the people at my work that do claim they are Christian don’t always live the Christian lifestyle. Many people at my work are quick to stereotype, not giving me a chance to let them know the real me. However, the real genuine Christians at my work are extremely easy to pick out. I never would have thought that at my work I could actually spot Christians, but their actions are so much more different from the people that don’t hold values for themselves. Many of the Christians I work with are nicer and don’t try to insult people or make people feel bad about themselves. Finally, those who have actually given me a chance I have grown great relationships with.
